To all wlmi-zt t may concern l Be it known that l, HnINfnioH Doorne-n, :1 resident of 2G lilollinan-nstrasse, Berlin, German F. .ipir'e, manager, having invented certain new and useful Improvements in or relating to Line Set-ting and Casting Machir-ies7 do hereby declare that the following an exact specification of the saine.

lin the U. States Fatent No. 977,280 a watcr-coolingapparatnsfor line-casting niachines 'of the ll'lergenthaler system is described in which the bolt or pin of the moldwheel or casting-wheel is divided transversely to the axis 'and is provided with 'central and lateral longitudinal perforations thro-ugh which the water flows, proceedingin by one perforation' and ont by the other, the lateral perforation -nishing in an angular conduit between the two parts ot' the holt.

rlhe o'oject of the present invention is an improvement in 'or modification of that mentioned prior application and insures a hotter joint.

A farther improvement of the prior application consists in that tubes which serve for guiding the water are arranged below the face. of the niold wheel so, that no parts' project beyond ther-aces of the mold wheel.

A construction according to this invention is illustrated by way of example in the accompanying drawing in which:

Figure il is an inner view of the mold wheel, Fig. Q shows the mold wheel, the mold wheel spindle and the bearing of the saine in sect-ion, and Fig. 3 is a bottom view of the rear portion of the inold wheel spindle, Fig. 4l "shows 1an other construction according to any invention of the rear portion of the inold wheel spindle two lateral' perfora-v -tions being arranged, Fig. 5 shows an arrangement with an annular recess in the conical surface of the pin Aand Fig. 6 with recesses in looth perte.

ln the saine way als in the prior Letters latent the casting or mold wheel a is noountn ed on the spindle in, which rotates in the bush CZ fastened in the hearing ci ln order to insure a better joint Ybetween the rotating spindle/Fand the closing part e, the joint between the two parts is :termed by conical surfaces. Therefore according to this invention the spindle Z) has a conical recess at the hack in which iits the conical closing part e provided with two conical joint surfaces fr, between which is arranged a recess y, into which opens the lateral perforation m of the spindle I). The closing part c is also provided with two perforations7 one of which opens into the point of the cone, and the second one into the recess already referred to, between the two joint surfaces. The other end of the two perforations passes into a projection s of the closing part, as inorc clearly shown in Fig. 8. The closing part c is prevented from rotating in the bearing by the projection s and is pressed against the conical seat by a spring f held by the cover g.

ll/vater flows through the central perforation ofthe closing oart t-o the central perforation of the spindle b thence to the casting mold in order t0 cool it, then into the lateral perforation of the spindle b and 'hack to the recess between the two conical surfaces of the closing part c, then through the lateral perforationo the closing part and away again through the perforation of the projection s. Of course the water could also flow in the reverse direction.

0f course instead of providing a central and lateral perforation it is also possible to arrnnge two lateral perforations m and m as shown in Fig. 4L ot' the drawings opening into two annular recesses formed between the conical joint surfaces. Also the `annular recesses i/l may he formed in the conical surface or' the pin (Fig. 5) instead ot the surface of the closing part, or in both of these parts, as at 1,12 in Fig. 6.

For guiding the water the mold wheel itself is provided with two radial perforations Z continuing within the casting wheel spindle and opening in the two perforations of it. For guiding the Water the rim around the lateral face of the casting wheel is provided with a perforation or groove u joining hy two holes o running parallel with the axis ofthe wheel with the radial perforations lin the said perforations or grooves t, u and 'u circulationtuhes are laid so, that no parts project beyond the faces of the mold wheel. lifter the tube has been inserted in the said groove, the latter may be filled in with some suitable soldering ma terial, such as tin .or the lilce, whereby the tube is held in. proper position and a substantiall7 integral structure is secured. lt is neces iry to employ tubes for guiding the water as the casting wheel is made ol' porous material. so that if lno tubes were laid the water would leali through the pores of the mold Wheel.

Having now particularly:described and ascertained the nature of my invention and in ivhat manner the same is to be performed, l declare that What l claim is:

l. ln a line setting and casting machine in combination a rotatingpin, mold Wheel being provided With a Water duct and securedto the rotating pin, said pin having two pcritorations and being provided with a closing part 'having also two perforations, the adjoining surfaces of the closing part and of the pin having annular recesses, in which thepert'orations open and means for pressing the pin and the closing part against eachother, the adjoining surfaces of the pin and the closing part being of conical shape.

2. In a line setting and casting machine in combination a rotating pin, a mold Wheel being provided with a Water duct and secured to the rotating` pin, said pin having' two perforations and a conical recess and being provided with a closing part having also tvvo perforations and a conical joint surface fitting into the said conical recess the adjoining conical surfaces having annular recesses into Which the said perforations open and means for pressing the pin andthe closing part against each other.

In a line setting and casting machine in combination a rotating pin, amold Wheel being provided With a Water duct and secured to the rotating pin, said pin having two perforations and a conical recess and being provided with a closing part, having conical joint surfaces fitting into the said conical recess and leaving between them intervals into which the said perfcrations open, said closing part also being provided with pcrforations opening into said intervals and means for pressing the pinand the closing part against each other. f
